So, for the list of solvents/pesticides troops were exposed to, can we find out the expected sources of exposure?

Back up pdf copy of Solvents/Pesticides Gulf War Troops were exposed to per Gulf War and Health, Vol 2 Insecticides and Solvents, Feb, 2003, p. 612

Surprisingly many ethylene glycol ethers are also listed as pesticides; and they are poisons; Not just solvents. (So if thyroid, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc are out of normal range - these could be the culprit. And those horrible headaches at the back of the head and down the neck - Is this in the area of the pituitary gland?)

Then troops can check out which ones they likely had exposure to and start finding out what those solvents do. If they bothered to put them on a list as an exposure; then they expected that you were at risk for enough exposure to be significant?

I had a young man contact me yesterday from the general public, who was concerned about similar harm from CAS No 2807-30-9 ethylene glycol monopropyl ether. It was in the siding he had been putting on his house for the past 3 years. This is information I shared with him; and I learned some things, too, like how many SOLVENTS cause birth defects.

If you have been able to have children ... thank God; there are some with zero sperm count and they will not be able to have children; this chemical (2-butoxyethanol aka ethylene glycol monobutyl ether) damages the testes besides causing reproductive damage or birth defects. (Even true for the general population)
